Omega Summoner

Chapter 326: The Prowess of the Rank One Player I

What is the difference with a skeleton dragon and an undead dragon? If you were to ask the undead about it then it would be that of the composition of their body and souls. If you ask the dragonkin then they would say that those undead are a mockery of their masters.

An undead dragon that Adrian fought when he travelled back in time is an actual dragon that became an undead that kept its body and soul. The dragonkin will still have an aversion against it because death is supposed to be sacred to dragons as their souls return to the Mother of All Dragons, Tiamat.

Once their dragon soul returns to Tiamat, the dragons will once again be reincarnated as an egg or at least that is what the dragonkin are told.

A skeleton dragon is different from an undead dragon because the soul that inhibits it is not from an actual dragon but a faux soul of a dragon. One of the requirements for a lich or necromancer to actually summon a skeleton dragon is to absorb a soul of an actual dragon which is blasphemy for dragonkin.

The absorbed dragon soul will not return to the Mother of All Dragons and instead be tortured by the flames of damnation that inhibits an undeadʼs soul. The stored soul of the dragon will be consumed and the skeleton dragonʼs skills and attacks will be that if the consumed dragon soul. The skeleton dragon is basically like a robot and the lich will be the programmer.

The skeleton dragon is basically just an undead monster loaded with the memories of a dragon and not an actual dragon. This is the real reason why dragonkin and dragons immediately exterminate all of them when signs of a skeleton dragon appears. The sudden revulsion of the dragonkin players are the first sign of this noble task.

All the dragonkin players got the notification immediately knew what they are going to do first. The skeleton dragon in front of them became their prime target. Emrys who is leading the imperial army could not stop them because even he knows that dragons are a proud race that will not tolerate those that dare look down on them.

”Those dragons and their pride will always be annoying. Still, those dragonkin will be enough of a force to defeat that filthy beast.” The Pope Pristina commented but Emrys did not bother to add a comment.

”Fire Armor! Aqua Armor! Earth Armor! Propagate!” Emrys chanted four spells simultaneously and gave three elemental defenses to all of the imperial army then split it to all the army of ten thousand.

Emrys used up about half of his total mana pool just to use that spell which to the dismay of Pope Pristina as she wanted only the human members of the army to be protected. She could care less for the other races but she did not comment any further. She would just do her job and eradicate the Arch Lich as commanded by her goddess.

”So what is the plan, guild master?” Elyushia asked formally as she would now act like a serious gamer because the imperial members and the undead were already clashing.

”You two start defeating the undead horde while I deal with the Skeleton Dragon. All dragonkin are tasked with an emergency quest to kill that thing.” Hou Yiwei ordered as he spread his wings.

”Would it not be easier if we help you take that thing down?” Tecton inquired.

”It would be easier but you two are part of our guildʼs highest damage dealer. All dragonkin will be after the skeleton dragon. Use that chance to rack up contribution points by killing off the undead horde. Tecton protect Elyushia as there might be other guild members that target her so that their guild will outrank us.” Hou Yiwei commanded as he took flight towards the skeleton dragon.

The dragonkin have surrounded the skeleton dragon like they were hunters grouping up to kill a giant beast. Players that have magic classes started the bombardment but a skeleton dragon is not easily damaged by low tier spells. Only spells that are of the epic or higher tier could ever hope to damage it.

Dealing physical damage to the skeleton dragon is also quite difficult as it could just resupply with the bones of the undead from its surroundings. The only upside is that the skeleton dragon has limited flight because its wings are basically just bone. It would also need to consume a hefty amount of mana just to magic to fly.

The dragonkin players are doing their best and even using their own breath as their main damage dealing skill. Their breath skill is considered an epic tier ability but one dragonkin in particular is much different from them. A dragonkin that is wielding a bow made of dragon scales is pulling its mana bowstring.

”Sun Piercer!” Hou Yiwei stated as he released an arrow upwards.

A few seconds later, a giant ball of fire that is about fifty meters big is coming down towards the skeleton dragon. The other dragonkin players knew who this ability came from as it is the signature skill that the rank 1 player Hou Yiwei would always use this skill when facing dungeon bosses.

The skeleton dragon saw the incoming miniature sun and tried flying away but threads made of mana caught its four legs. The other dragonkin might not like it but they had to ensure that the skeleton dragon does not escape. Just because Hou Yiwei is an enemy does not mean they do not respect the one who unlocked the race that they are playing now.

The blue sockets of flame that is the eyes of the skeleton dragon flickered and a giant mana barrier coated its body. The miniature sun and the giant mana barrier collided creating a loud crashing sound. The clash of the two skills created a shockwave that blew those in the air and land a few meters away. Smoke and a blinding light covered the whole battlefield as two spells clashed.
